1/6 SCALE RC CHALLENGER TANK :)

Recommended Posts

Well the Challenger crew have been out on patrol in the patio area that's being taken up.......sadly the challenger cant get there due to a few steps up there, and I cant carry it on my own as its 14 stone weight kinda stops me lol........but I did leave one in the Chally to guard it ha ha

OK so the Tank still needs painting and will be done soon.......but ive now added a Driver for the Challenger and detailed his head with the radio gear and Helmet.....also done some coloring to his face...............and Brad with the gun lol 12 inch figures so the Tank is a bit HUGE lol Still got lots to do but it has been entered into a show next year :)

Never in all my years did I think I'd bump into another RC tanker!

 

I used to be well into this with a 1/8th scale panther, and a 1/6th scale panther. Did you get this from Mark 1 tanks? I used to know those guys well and be a part of the UK tank club. Still have my Tamiya king tiger stored safely away

Bloody Hell Olly350Z....how crazy is that ! Great to know that I'm not alone lol......really impressed with your pics......post some up of your tanks bud, would luv to see them :) Yep its a Mark 1 Tanks Challenger.......really pleased with the old girl so far.......should be painting it in Desert colour soon so work in progress lol Its crazy just how big these things are as you know yourself. The Challenger is 6ft Long......and is in our front room at the mo until the WAR BUNKER is built outside for it (SHED LOL)

So I do have a very understanding wife...thank god ha ha.......I did used to have a 1/8 Abrams from Mark 1 also but that had to go to help fund the Chally.......as you know they are bloody expensive :( Get some pics on here bud......and yes we should have a COOL TOY post lol Your King Tiger looks awesome with great detailing.....and as for your figures.............don't tempt me please lol GREAT STUFF

The grey Tiger is 1/16(now sold) scale.......and I made the girder Bridge to display them on :) The last Picture is of my 1/16 scale tiger with extra bracing I made to stop the chassis from flexing.......just under 8KG so heavy for that scale Tank :) Cheers guys
